If enough people help with the plan we can save lives. Take time out now and help get more desperately-needed supplies.
Here's a flyer for the upcoming May 1 illegal immigration march and boycott:

Actually white people get to take Sunday off. I didn't realize you were a child AND an American. Wait till you grow up little boy and pay a few dollars in taxes. THEN you will understand that you are wrong. Just remember when you grow up, its a stupid argument to just call people racist or whine about innocent children when you can't think of a comeback. I have heard the theory that every newsgroup thread (and i guess blog) ultimately ends up with someone calling someone Hitler. It appears we are close to that end.
Go to college, get a job and come back in a few years.

Ahh the knee jerk response......what about the children? its a very sad thing to see kids do without. Its also a sad thing to see a little dog left by the side of the road. I would love to pick up all the little animals that were hurt and take them home and care for them, but if i did that, then my own dog would become one because i couldn't afford to feed it.
See where I'm going with this? Little dogs grow up to be big dogs....little mexicans grow up to be the fools that dig holes in the backyard to crap.
Now....in my BUSINESS I loan money to people with different colored skin.....but I don't loan money to people that aren't us citizens regardless of their skin color.
Are you sure you aren't black? You use the same arguments.....our poor kids and I must be racist.
I'm wasting my breath.......

Our government knows it just doesn't make sense to deport 12 million people. And I say our government because I'm in the U.S. and I follow 99.99 of its laws. Do you have any idea what a million is? If so multiply it by 12 and you should get the picture. What would America do without 12 million workers? Yes I know it would make the unemployment rate look better but what about all the businesses that have no one to work for them. Is America magically going to pull out 12 million hard working individuals out her ass to accommodate the rich economy that it is now? I don't think so. Imagine all the bankruptcies that our citizens would file for. I'm a human being just like you I eat, breath, and sleep. I'm no less then your beloved pets you cherish in your house. Didn't you learn any morals. How would you explain to a 7 year old kid that his best friend was deported because his parents are considered illegal aliens? What would you say? Oh because he doesn't have papers so we send them real far away in Mexico to make life harder for them? But he was my best friend and his mom gives me ice creme.lol. Any ways I think our immigration laws should be a lot more moralistic. If we didn't do anything wrong and we established lives in America how could you just tell me to leave the country because you consider us illegal aliens because the government fails to welcome their south side quests? Open your eyes. If you opened up a business( consider a business the USA ) wouldn't you have to show a sign of appreciation for your customers(illegal aliens). Just because my skin happens to be the color of honey, because of my skin adapting to the environment of North America doesn't mean automatic separation and hate ness between us. I know you guys might say to me, but Carlos this is not a Mexican thing. I say bullshit! It just happens to be that most illegal aliens happen to be Mexican right? I'm not buying that because our Mexican citizens are discriminated because people stereotype them thinking their wetbacks. So why doesn't the government protect their citizens that happen to be Mexican blood from discrimination by legalizing their brothers and sisters so we can put an end to this? I know but I want you to answer this. You try to say its still not a Mexican or latino thing but what about all the whites that have said it is? I've overheard many times how they say they hate us among my other so called aliens. They always think I don't speak english so they have their racist conversations. Little do they know I speak better english then them, how ironic right? But check this out, instead of me grabbing a hammer and whipping it on their face I stay calm and receive this as information and not an insult. I know we deport others from Europe who come here illegally for example the pollack's. Believe it or not, many of them cross the south border with us. Running through the desert, swimming through the Rio Grande, dodging bullets from racist farmers and coming out of the river with a wetback(get it? they swam and got their back wet). A Pollack who can barely speak English told me that he was about to get deported but they let him go because he has established his life for years in the U.S. but told him not to say a word. So pretty mush it was like they never saw the alien to deport him. So this is why I think of this as a race thing. I agree with protecting the borders from terrorists but not against people who come to work real real hard. And I believe the aliens who have established a life in the U.S. and hasn't committed crimes has the right to be treated like everybody else. If your going to talk to me think realistically because you offend me with your ideas and its very insulting, for God sakes have some respect and common courtesy.

Hahaha....your defense is you break our laws because you care more about your families than we do?
I guess if you lose your peach picking job and need money our racist laws against stealing won't apply to you either.
Carlos.....you and your people are too dumb to even make a logical argument. If you care so much about your family and so proud of your heritage, why don't you just make mexico a wonderful place and we will all jump the fence.....join you and then you can complain about us.
Since you probably don't understand what I just said, I'll translate it into a lower class version.
Go away Beaner....we don't want you or your fuckin' family. You don't belong here or any place with a decent society because you people are animals.
I had to evict a beaner family because they were digging holes in the back yard to shit in because they wouldn't pay their water bill. Do you really think we want our neighbors doing that?

OMG you guys need to relax!! We come here to work hard unlike many citizens who don't take advantage of their benefits. I hate to hear whining citizens bitch about us taking their jobs(if they give a job to a immigrant who doesn't speak English, who knows how retarded your interview must've been) and at the same time you want to consider us low class, doesn't make no sense to me.Put yourself in our position and show us American people have hearts(Ignorant bastards will say to this we don't have to show you shit ). What would you do if you can't provide for your family back home, you can't purchase food for them, your kids are starving and crying, you don't have a job because theirs not enough jobs in your country. What would you do? Option A: Wait several years to try to enter the USA legally while you see your family starving, dying, suffering, sick and without money? Or option B: Head north where their is plenty of jobs(I don't understand why you citizens find it difficult to find a job because it takes me literally a couple hours, or couple days at the most to find one, I recently got fired and I was working the next day. You see stop bitching) and opportunity's to provide for our suffering family. If their is any intelligence in you, you would obviously pick option B. I'm just trying to make ignorant people understand that we come here illegally because we care more about our families than your racist laws.( Your illegal/legal bullshit came about in the 1920. Before that it didn't matter how you got into this country. But then some racist bastard brought up the idea to consider hard working individuals illegal immigrants(isn't this some bullshit). I hate it how the the U.S. government helps in the discrimination of my people calling us illegal's and criminals for no fucking reason. You people look at the term illegal as something to do with law, but I don't. I look at it as a right to discriminate. THINK ABOUT IT. You guys are so worried about the Mexican border. But what about the Canadian border where all the hijackers from 9/11 got in from and flew your planes right into the twin towers? Oh Oh I'm sorry, I forgot you guys have bigger problems like all the Mexicans that cross the border to work and join the ducking army. This is fucking ridiculous STOP HATING ON MY PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!

Now I DARE any Latino/Mexican to accept this challenge. We are complaing about ILLEGAL aliens, not legal immigrants. Defend why you should be allowed to sneak across the border and mooch off of Americans.

Hey Latino and proud, if your sooo proud then please go home and be proud in your own country. If you want to be an American then be proud of America. For all I know you may have been born and raised here but by making that statement it shows where your loyalty lies. And it obviously isn't with America so get out, you're not wanted here.

Thats what we need Don, a gazillion more uneducated people living in cardboard boxes to add to our tax bill.
These stupid Mexicans don't understand (or more likely don't want to understand) that America was created by LEGAL immigrants.
A fence jumper taking existing opportunities and an easier life is NOT the same as my ancestors leaving Europe to live and die hard while taming a wild country......without welfare I might add.
I still think they should have had immigration officials at every rally and deported the illegals. Can you imagine what would happen is another group of law breakers (say escaped prisoners) congregated demanding equal rights?

I have the perfect solution to all of this. It's obvious that the vast majority of mexicans want to come to America and even the Mexican government wants them to come here. So let's just take over Mexico and make it the 51st state. No more boarder problems. I know, it presents a whole new set of problems but it's what most of them want anyway.

parent, I vehemently disagree. Home school may in fact be a very nice option for some (under the guise of personal choice, not force). But for those that actually work for a living, this is hardly a serious answer to teachers speaking in a foreign tongue.
Which brings me to "Why not just learn Spanish": I assume you have not ever taken a language course. If you had, you would know that speaking at full velocity on subject matter not intended as a language curriculum, with words that have multiple syllabic references, would be impossible for children or even gifted adults to comprehend.
No, the answer is not pull your children out of school to stay at home, while the foreign students occupy the classes at exorbitant expense.
No the answer is not sitting in and learning a fun new language while failing all other courses and forging on unprepared for the next grade.
If an illegal immigrant enrolls a child that cannot speak the language, then this child should be in a class that teaches the English language especially as a language course, not as a normal text class which would interfere with the rest of the schedule and required curriculum. This child would be required to catch up. This also should not be at the expense of English speaking children or their parents tax dollars. In American schools in it has always been the case that if you cannot reach the goals of the class you are in, you are placed in the next lowest class until you are at a level you can succeed in. Why would illegal immigrants get to bypass this basic rule of learning? Why should our children be suffering for this and why should we be paying for it.
How many know what the national debt is? How many know how much of that debt is due directly to the welfare costs of illegal immigrants? Do not stop short by thinking that welfare is single item. Immigrant Welfare is everything associated to the upkeep of the people supported by it. This starts at the border, police, hospitals, public services, dmv, insurance companies, roads/highways, parks, schools and even city refuse facilities. This is only a small list; this affects every part of our lives. Only the few in the upper income brackets are disillusioned, as they cannot see the effects of things that they do not care about in the first place. Higher income almost always means private school & private doctors. It is all too easy for the fortunate to say;

In my city, a brand new 3-story very nice apartment building was completed and is designated as a low-income property. There are 100 apartments. The parking lot is full of nice cars and trucks from BMW's to Lexus to Brand new 4x4s it looks upscale. One problem though: the occupants of this building pay no rent, no insurance, no taxes and have no responsibilities.
They go to work like the rest of us. But they keep every cent they earn. Americans pay their rent, Americans pay their taxes, Americans pay their medical bills, and Americans pay their utilities and even for food. Who are these people that do not pay rent, have free medical and free ride to school and get free grants to the local Jr. college? These people are Illegal immigrants, which happens to consist mostly of Mexicans.
These people that are protesting in American streets are getting a free ride on the backs of many generations of hardworking tax paying responsible American citizens. This is not to say immigrants are not hard working, because they are. The difference is the responsibilities and the fact that they do not contribute back to the system at all. They work very hard to tear the system down, even thought the system is housing and feeding them.
The more children they have or claim to have the more checks they receive. Average $400.00 per child every month. This is on top of free housing, free utilities, food stamps, free medical and free schools.
They go to our children

Alexa, this is not about the honest workers that will remain afeter the 11 million welfare absorbers are relocated back to Mexico. It really does not matter who picks the fruit or does any of the jobs. What matters is the America that is being paid for by everone EXCEPT the illegal immigrant regardless of their race. Laws are created for a reason. To ignore the laws for personal gain and to support those that do is the best reason to put a portion of the 2 billion a year spent in social services spent on illegal immigrants to work on building a WALL a very big wall.

Immigrants Demonstrate Economic Clout By DAVE CARPENTER, AP Business Writer
48 minutes ago
Illegal immigrants made their point Monday: Without them, Americans would pay higher prices and a lot of work wouldn't get done.
As nationwide demonstrations thinned the work force in businesses from meat-packing plants to construction sites to behind the counter at McDonald's, economists said there can be no dispute within the context of the contentious immigration issue that the group wields significant clout in the U.S. economy.
"If illegal immigration came to a standstill, it would disrupt the economy," said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Economy.com. "It would lead to higher prices for many goods and services, and some things literally would not get done. It would be a major adjustment for our economy, for sure."
Another economist, Diane Swonk, said it would be an economic mistake to restrict entry and work rights when revising immigration policy.
"Given the obvious hardship of having illegal aliens flooding in, we also know they are critical to the functioning of the U.S. economy," said Swonk, chief economist at Chicago-based Mesirow Financial. "To be turning our backs on people who want to work is kind of silly in an environment where you've got tight labor markets and we're getting older and need younger people to work."
While the full impact of the one-day Day Without Immigrants boycott was hard to immediately gauge, it was palpable in some industries with a heavily Hispanic work force. On-the-job turnout was dramatically lower at some locales in the meat-packing, masonry, restaurant and landscaping businesses, and numerous firms closed for the day.
Mike Collins, who owns 500 acres of Vidalia onions in southeastern Georgia, was forced to shut down his packing shed and postpone his harvest when none of his 175 seasonal workers showed up.
"We need to be going wide-open this time of year to get these onions out of the field and we have nobody working today," he said. "Losing a day in this part of the season causes a tremendous amount of problems."
Tyson Foods Inc., the world's largest meat producer, shut five of nine beef plants and four of six pork plants in anticipation of widespread absences. Perdue Farms Inc., the nation's third-largest chicken producer, closed eight processing plants in seven states. Cargill Meat Solutions, the nation's second-largest beef processor, gave more than 15,000 workers the day off and closed plants in six states.
Gold Kist, another poultry producer, shuttered two North Carolina plants and operated its two Georgia facilities at reduced productivity after many employees failed to heed requests by the company's managers and CEO to show up despite the protests.
"We've tried to be open," said Wayne Lord, a vice president for the Atlanta-based company. "They were urged to come to work today because of our focus on satisfying our customer requirements."
Others publicly supported their employees' cause. Arthur Velasquez, founder and chief economic officer of Azteca Foods in Chicago, said he was "extremely proud" of his workers and noted that illegal immigrants keeps alive companies that need seasonal employees.
"It's a seasonal situation, so people need workers right then and there," he said. "And either that or they don't survive."
Many companies rediscovered what they already knew: They can't operate effectively without the extra help.
Work sites operated in the Washington, D.C., area by Beltsville, Md.-based Manganaro MidAtlantic, a concrete and masonry company where immigrants comprise up to 75 percent of the work force, were quiet Monday. John Livingston, a business developer for Manganaro, said his firm has not been able to fill its staffing needs without immigrants for more than a decade.
Low attendance also was the story at hotels in Indianapolis, construction sites in Miami and plant nurseries and landscapers across a wide area.
McDonald's Corp. said some of its employees participated in the rallies, prompting it to operate an unspecified number of its nearly 14,000 restaurants with limited crews, shortened hours or drive-thru service only. The Oak Brook, Ill.-based company did not provide further specifics but released a statement saying it strongly supports U.S. immigration reform.
Carl Tannenbaum, chief economist at LaSalle Bank in Chicago, said the boycott underscores that immigration is not only political issue but a big economic one, too.
"The American economy really relies to a large extent on a growing labor force," he said. "There's a certain replenishment to the labor force that immigrants provide, and I think we have to be careful about taking steps that would hinder that process."

If the May 1st march is to be effective perhaps the Illegal immigrants should wave the American Flag and their signs should be in English. The language in the United States of America is English - if you prefer Spanish there is a country near by that speaks that language.
The immigrants are boycotting all American businesses - Will that include the hospitals that provide free emergency medical care to people without insurance? Or will they accept that free help on May 1st as usual.
The government should see which companies and businesses are most effected by the strike. That would be the first place I would check for illegal immigrants on May 2nd.

When I was growing up in chicago Mexican were not a race but people from a country, just like Italians, Irish, and Polish. In fact why are Italians called WOPS (Without papers). They are called this because they came here without any papers at all. What I do not understand is why Mexican labor in chicago is considered messed up. It is fine, we are not California that was full of racist protestants. We are Chicago, We are all immigrants many of us came here illegally at first. America is made of illegal Irish, Italian, and Polish people what made MExicans not white, I think is the crazy Protestants in California, my family was not considered white until the 1970's they are Italian Catholics. We are all Americans, these marches turned into a race thing because people in California do not understand they are anti a religion not a race, my family is very dark complected Italians that are way darker then most Latino's. Why am I different then the marchers today? Somebody please tell me.

In advance of the release of the new Mortal Kombat, one YouTube user with some free time on his hands stitched together nearly two hours worth of fatalities and finishing moves from more than two dozen video games for your viewing pleasure.
The hits are all here, from many Mortal Kombats to Killer Instinct to Clayfighter to Primal Rage. The creator, BigBangBlitz, even went to the trouble of including the gory finishing moves from the likes of Time Killers, Kasumi Ninja and Bloodstorm. There's some BlazBlue and Samurai Shodown in here, too.
So, yes, there are plenty of decapitations, but you'll also see less grisly stuff like Shawn Michaels dropping a heart shaped bed on his opponent in WWF WrestleMania.
What you won't see in this two-hour-long bloodfest are the many finishing moves of Tattoo Assassins. Fortunately, you can see all of those right here if two hours simply isn't enough time for you to waste today.
There's even a handy index, should you have notations turned on, making it easy to skip from game to game.

'Mockingbird' author Lee sues over copyright in NY
Harper Lee, who wrote the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel "To Kill a Mockingbird," filed a lawsuit Friday to re-secure the copyright to it.books Updated: May 04, 2013 12:05 IST
Harper Lee, who wrote the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel "To Kill a Mockingbird," filed a lawsuit Friday to re-secure the copyright to it.
The lawsuit filed in federal court in Manhattan seeks unspecified damages from the son-in-law of Lee's former literary agent and companies he allegedly created.
The lawsuit alleges the son-in-law, Samuel Pinkus, failed to properly protect the copyright of the book after his father-in-law, Eugene Winick - who had represented Lee as a literary agent since the book was published in 1960 through the firm McIntosh and Otis - became ill a decade ago. The 87-year-old author alleges Pinkus took advantage of her declining hearing and eyesight seven years ago to get her to assign the book's copyright to him and a company he controlled.
Lee, who lives in Monroeville, Ala., has taken legal action to get the copyright reassigned but alleges Pinkus still received commissions.
"The transfer of ownership of an author's copyright to her agent is incompatible with her agent's duty of loyalty; it is a gross example of self-dealing," the lawsuit says.
The former agent's son-in-law didn't immediately return a call seeking comment.
"To Kill a Mockingbird" won the Pulitzer for fiction and is widely assigned in schools. The film version won three Academy Awards.

The Tailed Beast Temple is a temple located on the Island Turtle behind the Falls of Truth with many structures, headless Bodhisattva-like sculptures (which B jokingly states were past jinchūriki that failed to open the door due to impure hearts and had their heads chopped off by the cat, but later revealed that they were simply broken) and murals depicting the Eight-Tails and the Two-Tails on a giant wall. Inside the temple there are two chambers where the jinchūriki attempts to gain control over their tailed beast.
The entrance to the first chamber where a jinchūriki attempts to control one's tailed beast has a sculpture of the Two-Tails' head with a switch inside its mouth, only accessible by entering head first. The chamber is designed to hold a tailed beast, in case the jinchūriki failed to master control and allow the beast to be reborn, and lock it up until a new jinchūriki comes forth.
The second chamber is known as the Chakra Isolation Chamber, and is located behind the statue of the Eight-Tails' head. Killer B stated that it is impossible to detect chakra from behind the walls of the chamber, however Naruto while in his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode detected Kinkaku's six-tailed form, a feat that surprised the Eight-Tails.[1]

Heartland sees flat profit in 2013, announces special divvy
Article – BusinessDesk
Heartland sees flat profit in 2013, announces special
By Paul McBeth
Nov. 30 (BusinessDesk) –
Heartland New Zealand, which expects to hear back on its
banking licence application before Christmas, sees flat
profit in the 2013 financial year, and has announced a
pre-Christmas special dividend.
The Auckland-based lender
told shareholders net profit will probably be between $21
million and $24 million in the year ending June 30, 1013 at
today's annual meeting. That compares to annual profit of
$23.6 million in the 2012 year.
That profitability
represents a 45 percent to 66 percent improvement in pre-tax
profit, and depends on asset growth, lower cost of funds
from a successful bank registration, a focus on costs and
charges on impaired assets staying at current levels,
Heartland said in its AGM presentation published on the
stock exchange.
The company's board also declared a 1.5
cents per share special dividend, with a record date of Dec.
14 payable on Dec. 21. Heartland's directors gave no details
on future dividend policy, saying only that payouts would be
based dividends on its after-tax profit, subject to
maintaining a prudent level of capital.
capital needs will vary from time to time, depending on a
range of factors (including regulatory and credit rating
requirements, general economic conditions, current and
expected growth and the mix of business)," the company said
in a statement.
The shares rose 1.5 percent to 69 cents,
and have rallied 43 percent this year. The stock is rated an
average 'outperform', based on two analyst recommendations
compiled by Reuters with a median target price of 65 cents.
Heartland was formed through the merger of Pyne Gould's
Marac Finance unit with the Canterbury and Southern Cross
building societies, with a view to securing a banking
licence in a shift away from a new regulatory regime that
imposed stricter conditions on non-bank financial
Last month Heartland had its investment

business diversity, and sticking to its timeline for its

Karen, my life coach, was supposed to teach me about changing my attitude towards relationships.[1] Over the past ten days, she has mostly taught me about how not to be caught up in one. I've watched her get wine-blind with Dave, her lecherous roommate. I've seen her wallow in her pajamas over the man who got away. She doesn't practice radical self-love. She is reductive, aimless, even pathetic, but I don't have the heart to fire her.
Karen is an iPhone app developed by Blast Theory and Dr. Kelly Page.[2] Over the course of 17 interactive videos, I meet with its protagonist, Karen—a sweet, crumpled woman played with pitch-perfect melancholy by actress Claire Cage.[3] I log in at all hours to watch: from the airport, during my commute, and late at night. I am sucked into her chaos. She has no boundaries. I can walk in on her eating breakfast, doing her makeup, or daydreaming in bed. I am more careful to draw my own.

Three years after passage of the Dodd-Frank Act, the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board is still waiting for the Securities and Exchange Commission to issue its final rule defining who is a municipal advisor.
While SEC Chairwoman Mary Jo White has said that finishing the agency's municipal advisor rule is a "priority," said Lynnette Kelly, executive director of MSRB at a Wednesday briefing at The National Press Club in Washington, "she has a lot of priorities," so timing of such a rulemaking is unclear.
Dodd-Frank gave the MSRB the authority to regulate municipal advisors, who, as Kelly explained, must act as fiduciaries. But MSRB can't write its own rules for municipal advisors until the SEC finalizes its rule, which was mandated under Section 975 of Dodd-Frank.
An SEC spokesman told AdvisorOne that the municipal advisor registration rulemaking is a "high priority," but a date for Commission consideration has not yet been set.
The SEC released its first draft of its municipal advisor rule in December 2010, but MSRB as well as lawmakers complained the SEC's definition was too broad.
Kelly also noted that MSRB would continue this year its "long-term project to enhance" its Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA) web site. EMMA, which launched via a pilot program in 2008 and officially went live in 2009, is a centralized online database that provides the public with free access to official disclosure documents for most municipal bonds issued in the U.S.
On Monday, MSRB announced that EMMA will now display both the initial offering dollar price and yield for a bond, when available. These changes, MSRB said, "provide more meaningful primary market information to market participants about the initial offering price and facilitate comparisons to trade data, which is normally displayed with both a dollar price and yield."
Justin Pica, MSRB's director of product management, noted at the Wednesday briefing that upcoming services that will become available on EMMA include alerts on 529 plans, including a plan description and guide; the ability to save a list of securities and "search that list of securities"; the ability to "export trade data"; and enhancements to EMMA's search function.
"MSRB is the regulator of broker-dealer activities in the 529 plans," added Ernesto Lanza, MSRB's deputy executive director.
MSRB is also now gathering information "on ways to improve the timeliness, fairness and efficiency of trade reporting in the municipal market," to help it develop EMMA 2.0, which "builds on the success of the [EMMA] website to date," said Kelly. "The goal is to create a central transparency platform that provides a comprehensive, interactive and real-time display of pricing-related market data."
Kelly said she envisioned "the platform evolving over time to become a centralized venue providing universal public access to pre- and post-trade municipal bond pricing and related disclosures." The MSRB, she said, "is taking an incremental approach and will rely heavily on market input at each stage of the development. We want to ensure we take into account the needs of investors and state and local governments but also industry practices and technology."
MSRB plans to "eventually replace the MSRB's current trade reporting system with a new platform with capabilities to evolve over time to provide a real-time display of pricing-related market data," Kelly said.

"All I'm interested in is knocking people off their feet and making them respect me."
(Bethune-Cookman)...6'1'', 265...Larry Chatmon Little. . .Free-agent signee with 1967 Chargers. . . Traded to Miami, 1969. . .Immediately won starting right guard job. . . Epitome of powerful Dolphins rushing game of 1970s. . .Fast, quick on pass protection - awesome, intimidating as pulling guard on sweeps. . . All-Pro six years. . .Five-time Pro Bowl pick. . .Three-time NFLPA pick as AFC offensive lineman of year. . .Started in three Super Bowls. . .Born November 2, 1945, in Groveland, Georgia.
Larry Little, unlike many highly touted Miami Dolphins stars of the 1970s, began his career in 1967 as an unheralded free agent with the San Diego Chargers. Larry, who had been a two-way tackle, team captain, and an All-Conference choice at Bethune-Cookman College, enjoyed only moderate success during his two years in San Diego.
Just before the 1969 campaign, however, he was traded to the Dolphins and it wasn't long before the 6-1, 265-pound guard was being praised as one of the National Football League's premier offensive linemen. A fixture at right guard during the 1970s when the Dolphins were a dominant team in pro football Little was the embodiment of the intimidating force of the famed Miami rushing attack.
A superb pass blocker, awesome on the scrimmage line and especially effective as the lead man on the powerful Dolphin sweeps, Little was named first-team All-NFL from 1971 through 1975 and again in 1977. He was also named second-team All-NFL in 1978, and All-AFC five times. Larry was selected to play in five Pro Bowls (1970, 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1975). He was named the NFL Players Association's AFC Lineman of the Year in 1970,1971 and 1972.
When Miami rushed for a then-record 2,960 yards in its perfect 1972 season, Little was tabbed by one prestigious selection panel as the NFL's outstanding blocker. Little displayed versatility, durability and dedication throughout his career.
Coach Don Shula called him "a real inspiration, not just for the way he performs but also for his influence on our younger players." In one emergency situation, brought about by injuries, Little shifted to the unfamiliar right tackle spot with little effect on his quality of play. Even though he was plagued by knee, ankle, and leg injuries through much of his career, he sat out only four games because of injuries in his first 11 seasons with the Dolphins.

Three South Koreans were in the lead as they rounded the last turn, but two crashed out, allowing Ohno to slip across the finish line in second. Incensed gold medallist Lee Jung-su criticized Ohno as "too aggressive" in a post-race news conference. "Ohno didn't deserve to stand on the same medal platform as me," he told Yonhap. "I was so enraged that it was hard for me to contain myself during the victory ceremony." South Korean broadcaster SBS posted a clip online from the semifinal with a caption saying it shows Ohno "pushing" Lee. "I understand that in sports, you naturally want to win.

text: A metalcore act from the small upper Midwestern city of Grand Rapids, MI, Still Remains avoid the taint of sounding like every similar young band in their chosen style by prominently using synthesizers alongside the unison-riff guitars. As a result, their music has a strong similarity to European symphonic power metal acts such as Nightwish, giving the group a strong following both on the Continent and among North American fans of the style. Still Remains formed in 2002 with an original lineup of singer T.J. Miller, guitarists Steve Schallert and Jordan Gilliam, keyboardist Zach Roth, bassist Evan Willey, and drummer Cameron Macintosh (soon replaced by A.J. Barrett). Following a self-released EP debut, 2003's Dying with a Smile, Still Remains made their full-length debut with 2004's If Love Was Born to Die. A major personnel change followed, with Schallert and Gilliam replaced by new guitarists Mike Church and Jordan Whelan for the band's Roadrunner Records debut, 2005's Of Love and Lunacy. Yet another major personnel shift followed the release of that album, with Barrett leaving to join Christian metalcore act the Showdown, replaced by Adrian Green. Roth and Willey also exited in 2006, replaced by keyboardist Ben Schauland and bassist Steve Hetland, leaving Miller the sole original member remaining. After extensive tours in Europe and the United States, Still Remains worked with producer Steve Evetts to record their second studio album, 2007's The Serpent. ~ Stewart Mason
